Awww, thanks **FCM** - you’re much nicer than my real mom! I’d definitely take you down the street to the Moonstruck Cafe & treat you to some chocolatey goodness if you were in my neck of the woods - and that goes for any of the rest of y’all Cool Kids that happen to stumble into Stumptown to say howdy on a day when I’m not flat-broke & busted. _sniff_ I’m Somebody now! ---

Dr. #2 is concerned more about my appendix (about time) and sending me for another cat scan tomorrow. Of course, when I called to schedule it, I was told that they can’t even schedule me until they get preauthorization from my insurance company. Soooo, tomorrow first thing I get bloodwork, and then I wait to hear. In the meantime, me and Captain Vicodin will be on the couch, per doctor’s orders. Should the worst happen and I end up back in the hospital tonight (knocking on wood as I type), I’ll have Roomie e-mail somebody or get a guest account and spread the word. ---

[QUOTE=FairyChatMom] … and I’d be crying myself to sleep at night, but I’d have to put on a brave face here because I’m nice, dammit. \* Here, you can borrow mine, I keep in the front hall… 😃 Welcome [del]fresh meat[/del] newbies! I like chocolate bark with walnuts or macadamia nuts. Make it so. Address is Strawberry Fields, dontcha know. Back from daughter’s induction into the \ _Societie Honoraire De Francais_ --I have no idea how to get the lil acccent dohickeys where they belong… She got a nice plaque and other goodies for scoring very high on some Test sponsored by the above. 100,000 students of French take it each year. She scored 7th. Yay, daughter! It has rained, poured, _hailed_ and been sunny here today–God is a flip-flopper. Ok–I’m getting a weird message saying that my post is too short. It must be at least 2 characters. WTH? ---

You have a broken quote tag, so it thinks the entire post is in the quote, and you have to write 2 characters outside any quotes. ---

Welcome **Ya Wanna**! In case you’re wondering, all beer offerings are sent down here to south Jawja. 😃 Speaking of the MMP, we got anybody up for next week yet? Step right on up, we need a volunteer. I’d do it but I am gonna be sorta kinda sporadic next week what with all my wonderful travelin’ over south Jawja and Periodontist torture and all. **Drae** seems to me if it were your appendix, that would have been resolved by now, but since IANAD, what do I know. Mayhaps **Rigs** could clue us in more on appendix type stuff. Just get better soon whatever it is, 'k? **Mika** … Innocent face?.. ummm… \*\* BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAA!!! \*\* Whew! There, I’m all better now. ---

Sorry, **swampy** (is it alright if I call you that?), but I don’t believe it’s legal in this state to ship alcoholic beverages, unless you’ve got something like a distributor’s license. Which I don’t happen to have. Too bad, cause I could hook you up with the good stuff.
